Applicationled November 8,` `1902. Serial No. 130,5"9-6.4 (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: e

Be it known that I, J AMES E. ENYART, a citizen of the United States, residing at McFall,

in the county of Gentry and State of Missouri, `have invented certain. new and useful Improvements in Hay-Rickers 3 and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and fexact description of the invention, such as will enable` others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, ,and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part` of this specification. i

leys thereon with beams pivotally` mounted upon the frame and carrying a hay-fork, and in the provision of diagonally-disposed beams having pulleys thereon, over which ropes pass for hoisting the fork, and also in the provision of a counterweight which is passed over a suitable pulley and is attached tothe cross-A piece of the fork, and in the provision of an apron on which the material being raised by The invention consists, furthe parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appendedY claim. i

My invention is illustratedl in the;acco1npanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, forma part of this application, and in which-f- Figure l is a side elevation of my improved" ricker or hay-stacker, and Fig. 2 is a topfplan pulleys E E l 'are journaled near the lower ends of the uprights. a e, Y F F designate swinging beams, which are pivotally mounted at F on a rod or bolt carried by the base portion of the frame. Fastened to the ends of said beams F is a rack or hay-fork H, having tinesI-l, disposed at in various details of construction and combinations ofV .right angles to the, tinesupon which the h ay rests.

J J designate diagonally-disposed braces Afastened 'at their lower ends to the base of the l :piece `h of the rack or fork and pass over the This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hay rickers or stackers, c0111-, prising a frame having suitable uprights, pullpulleys D at the upper ends of the uprights B, thence pass underneath pulleys at the 'lower ends of the apparatus, and are connected toawhiiiletree to whicha horse may be attacheds1 It will be observed that the upper ends of the beamsl are so positioned that they will receive the ropes when the loading rack or fork'is at its lowest limit and are out of the way of the swinging fork as it is raised .to a vertical position. A rope W is fastened at one lend to a counterbalance-weight T2, passes over a pulley R' on beam'R, and its other end is connected to an eye O on a crossfpiece O `of the rackll. Mounted in said relcess'es B2 is a cross-piece having laterallyprojecting teeth T, forming a rack, and on which the hay is deposited from the fork as it is raised, and from which rack the hay may be-distributed over the stack being formed.

A f From the foregoing it will be observed that by the use of an apparatus herein described, and illustrated in the drawings, a load of hay may be readily hoisted from the wagon orother machine direct to fthe rack and the stack quickly formed, the swinging fork being raisedrby horse-power, and when it is desired to form stacks at different locations the apparatus, which may be temporarily anchored in any particular place by means of stakes, may be easily moved, f Y

Having thus fully describedymypinvention, what l claim as new, anddesire tosecureby Letters Patent, ise e I Ahay ricker or stacker, comprisingin coinbination with the framework having uprights B and suitable braces J, bracket-blocks secured to said uprights, pulleys mounted in said brackets, a rack T, horizontally-.disposed bracket-arms having recesses in which said IOS rack is mounted, the cross-piece L upon said braces J, the rack fastened to the ends of the beams F, the beams I bolted to said braces J, and pulleys J mounted at the free ends of 5 said beams I, a cross-piece h' connecting the tines of said rack, eyes carried by said crosspieee, and ropes N and i secured to said eyes and passing over said pulleys, a cross-piece O secured to the rear ends of the tines, and

no a eentrallydisposed eye O mounted thereon,

a rope W secured at one end to said eye O and passing over a pulley mounted upon said beam R, and a Weight secured to its other end, as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my 15 signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.
